You can always visit the tourist center in the station next to Isetan. There got counter where the staffs can converse in English or Mandarin, thus if you have a plan where to go; can seek their advise and they will direct you on transportation. Else ask the hostel you are staying.
So not easy to get lost.

Like I told you... you no eat, you no occupy table.
After you eat, clear the table even if your friend is still eating. That's the ethic there especially if you go into those ramen stalls.

You go to the market, you buy and you eat. But bear in mind if you eat while walking, then you need to keep the rubbish until you find rubbish bin which is hard to come by.

Because they recycle. Even in our hostels they advise us to put paper one side so they can recycle. Then plastic and tins in 1 bin and waste in another. I remember their garbage collections also rotate one. i.e. maybe 1 specific days for tins, 1 day for plastic, 1 day for waste and 1 day for paper or something similar. Have to ask those living in Japan.

Haha.... that's where the teens are. No choice. But generally it is still clean. I know when I want to smoke, if on the street I need to focus hard to see whether there is any cigarette butts around. If there is... then Nonetheless hardly smoke on the street unlike in Malaysia. Smoke freely.

There is one entrance/exit in Shinjuku where I loitered during one evening and man, it was like the whole pavement is smokey. Because everyone was hanging around there smoking! And the smoking area was so small, hence imaging the crowd and smokes and yes the bicycles! Across the road is McD. Right in-front is the entrance/exit as well as a small complex which housed Daiso and Uniqlo.

1. No eating while walking
2. Clear own stuff after eating. (Clear to where?)

Can eat while walk. Bring small plastic to keep the waste.

Also while eating and ordering, try to observe the locals and you will know what to do

Drive is one thing. Parking fees is another hefty sum to cough up.
